The first productions were crude and

MR.. EDIToR:-
Dear Sir::-In your issue of July 81,
find an item entitled "An appeal for J..
Fenimore Boozern which very much as
tontsAed and panied me. l was not aware
that "Uncle Fin Gas we all call him) was
in need Of anything to make him COM
Portable. When three and one-half years
ago Uncle Fin was brought to crisis in
health and finances, Mrs. Baker felt she
would like to befriend her only uncle
without remuneration of any description,
not expecting any reward whatever. at
once gave hearty response to her SYM
pathies, and Uncle Fin was duly invited
to our house. 1t has been our ambition
to make him thoroughly comfortable, and
it has been done. If ever an old gentle
man had the comforts of life and was
treated courteously by all around him,
Uncle Fin has, We do not say this to
boast, but nothing short Of the most as
siduous attention to his comfort was ever
thought of and every intention of care
and sympathy has been carried out to the
letter by my wife. Not one woman in a
hundred could have done for a person
what she has for her uncle, and am not
aware that she has lacked for dollar at
any time to procure any luxury of the
season that he craved. Her ample and
faithful sympathy for her uncle has al
ways been endorsed by me and all the
family, and will be to the end. Ia word,
if she or | in our closing years are as we'll
cared for, we will be more than thankful
We thank you and all friends in Lam
bertville or elsewhere for sympathy, but
this appeal for money to hire nurse is
cruel, uncalled- for and unlocked for stab
at us that cuts us to the core. Mrs. Ba-
ker's health is broken down, truly, and
we have talked of hiring nurse, but
never dreamed of getting one by the con-
tributions of others. When my wife de-
eides to have nurse, she will get one
without calling on the public. demand
q recall of that announcement and the
publication of this letter in full in your
paper. All the money in New Jersey
could not have hired us to do for uncle
what we have done, and now, when near
the end, our family affairs have to be
meddled with and we advertised all over
New Jersey and part of Pennsylvania,
we call cruel treatment. Let us have our
way. Please publish and oblige.

congressman HtucOcK q Oalryfnan.
| A New York Tribune reporter caught
Congressman Pidcock on the ferry one
day last week and got the following from
him about milk:
"fhis has been a prosperous year for
dairy farmers, y said Congressman Pid-
cock of New Jersey, as he took off his
Panama stockyard hat on North river
ferry boat, and wiped his perspiring
forehead with red bandana handker-
chief. You may not know it, but l
am the largest dairyman in the State of
New Jersey, and probably the largest in
the United States. I own about 800
COWS and run creamery. In my whole
experience never knew the business to
be SO profitable to dairymen. While
the nominal price--that is the price fix
ed by the Milk Exchange-is 81 cents
quart, or $1.40 can, minus the freight
charge of 40 cents can, dairymen are
actually selling their milk for from so to
$3 can. The business is booming,
sir.'
'What is the reason for the rise in
price ?" asked the reporter, to whom the |
New Jersey statesman was talking.
milk always goes up in Summer, re-
pled the congressman. That IS due |
to the scarcity and the increased de
mand. 1 say scarcity, when as a mat
ter of fact the receipts are about Is, 900
cans day, or heavier than was ever
known before. But owing to the intense
heat great deal of this milk sours before
it reaches the customers. These thun-
der storms sometimes sour whole train
loads. When say scarcity l refer to
good, sweet milk. Then the Summer
demand, die to picnics, excursions, ETC.,
where they must have ice cream and
cake, helps to stiffen prices. These
causes have sent prices kiting this seas
on, and the dairymen reap the benefit.
Besides, they have the benefit of good
crops this year. The grass was never
thicker or more nutritious than in New
Jersey and Orange county at present

Major Flank A. Butts in an able pa
per on the 'fUnited States Pension Sys-
tenn, read before the Interstate meet
ing OF the Bucks and Hunterdon Coun-
ties His ,rical Societies, the other day,
said:
ut is matter that is often questioned
how there can still DO so many names of
widows of survivors of the war of 1919 on
the pension rolls. The figures upon more
than one occasion have been subjected to
question, and am here reminded of lit
tie circumstance which will serve to prove
that this widows roll may be continued
forsome time to come. Some months ago
veteran of the war of 1912 addressed
letter TO his lawyer in Washington stat
ing that, inasmuch as young lady had
been very attentive to him for some time,
at his death he would like to leave his
pension to her, and he asked the question
II there were not some legal way in which
he could make it over to her. In answer
ing the letter the attorney, of course, in
formed him that there was no law to
cover the case, but somewhat humorous
ly suggested that he might marry the
young lady, and then, as his widow, she
would be entitled to the benefits accruing
from his service as soldier. About three
months later the lawyer was not little
surprised by letter from the widow of
this same person. She was young lady
scarcely out of her teens, and if the fates
should be kind to her, and she should de.
cline to re-marry, she may doubtless be q
widow of the war of 1912 at some date in
the twentieth century,

1t is generally admitted, even by
Democrats, that the nomination of Pow
ell for Governor of Ohio was weak one,
and that there is scarcely any hope OF
his success. But it was the best the
Administration faction, which had tho
control of the Convention, could do.
Congressman Campbell would undoubt.
have been the nominee but for his re.
cord. He is protectionist, he voted to
pass the Dependent Pension bill over
the Presidents veto, and no publicly
denounced the order for the surrender
Of the rebel flags. OF course Demo-
GRAFT Of that sort wasn't wanted as can
didato by q Convention that proposed
TO endorse the Cleveland Administration,
and they didn't take him. But he poll.
ed surprisingly large vote under the
circumstances.

A Prize right.


A few days since two young men of
West Amwell township got into discus
sion on theological subject, and finally
got angry, and decided to fight it out.
They selected seconds, and a judge, and
fixed day. At the time appointed the
parties all appeared and several rounds
were fought, one of the fighters finally de-
Gliding that he had enough. Whether the
question of Calvinism VS.. Armenianism has
been finally decided by this battle, re.
mains to be seen. OF what possible in-
terest such question can be to such
heather one is at loss to know.

-On Tuesday last Charles Reneka,
German in the employ of Mr.. Jonathan
Butler, living near Pennington Junction,
was terribly injured by being caught in a
moving machine. A boy was driving
the horses, and Charles who was working
along the fence in the same field, stepped
backward Immediately in front of the
knives. One foot was terribly cut, the
arteries and tendons being severed, caus-
ing it to bleed profusely. Medical aid
was hastily summoned, and, after the
wound had received proper attention, the
man was sent on the afternoon train to
St. Luke's Hospital, at Bethlehem, Pa,
his home being at that place. 1t was
feared that amputation of the foot
would be necessary.

- Some gentlemen were discussing the
desirability of Pennington as health re.
sort one day last week, when the question
arose as to how many persons there were
in the town who had attained the age of
20 years and over. Some thought there
were not over twenty or twenty-five. A
canvass of the citizens was then and there
made, and 1t required less than half ON
hour to count up one hundred and forty
names Of men and women who had passed
three score and ten years. In popula-
ton of less than 1000 this is very good
showing Hunterdon Democrat.
